Outlook 2010: Need macro to add voting buttons to current message

I need a macro to automatically add voting buttons to the active message draft.

This is for our word processing department. When they return a job by replying to the original message, I want them to be able to run a macro that will add voting buttons labeled 1 through 10, so the recipient can quickly rate the quality of the job.

I can find macros that create a new message with voting buttons, but I want to simply add them to the currently drafted message. I am familiar with Word VBA, but not as familiar with Outlook VBA.

Thank you for the link. I already know how to simply create custom voting buttons in a message. What I need is a macro that can set it up automatically. It is unrealistic that my processors can take the time to manually set up 10 different buttons. A macro would make it super easy for them, and therefore more likely that they will include it in responses.

I am short on time to complete this project and not finding any quick answers. As an alternative, I have decided to create a custom message form that will have the voting buttons I need built in. That is not quite as elegant or as versatile, but it will work. Thanks for your help.

I am only accepting this solution because I have limited time before I have to present a draft. Using a custom form is nowhere near as cool as the macro would have been, and I see from various posts evidence that it COULD be done.
